Hello All

    Good comment Ian. 

    Im normally reluctant to criticize any artists and their work if
    they are not hurting anyone and don't use public money. Although I
    prefer permanent classical works rather than modern "installations"
    as they are known or art that is there one day and gone the next
    especially when public money is used to fund it. Yes i know the skull
    was funded by Hirst. But the first thing that come to mind about the
    diamond skull is.... did Hirst not know that skull jewellery had
    already been invented....what's new about it?....Apart from that its
    a huge expensive ornament.... or who taught him how to set diamonds
    so well? What? oh you didn't actually set them yourself ? Oh so who
    was actually the artist then ? Ok I will shut up and leave him to it
    now.
